Albion have appointed John Morling to the newly created post of academy manager.

His International stature and experience sounds good. Does this mean we will get some quality Irish lads?

Only former Watford boss Graham Taylor was younger when he gained his badge.

Any news on when work on the new training facility at Lancing is to begin? It's all gone quiet on that front.

Of the issue a little, but I was just a looking at today’s photo of the Amex redevelopment and is it just me, or are the new seats in the corner a noticeably lighter blue than the existing ones? Hope it's just the light conditions, otherwise that would significantly spoil the aesthetics??

new plans for the training ground were approved by the local parish council last week I believe so going foward now to the district council for planning approval. Residents still objecting it seems but it seems likely that nothing short of leaving an empty plot of ground will meet their approval. Fair play. If I wasn't a football fan I might well feel the same.
Looks like a no brainer to me!
